Airdrieonians 23/24 Championship Thread♦️

Seems like Badley-Morgan and Wilson are back fit this week. Do they come back into the team with Bruce and McGregor dropping out? Seems like Bruce did quite well last week but that would allow Hancock to move out wide and give us two strikers up front, with McGregor’s pace as an option off the bench.

Would have Badley-Morgan back in for Bruce yes, but Wilson for me has done nothing to merit a start in recent weeks. Would stick with Reid and Mcgregor for now.

Having Hancock in the left wing back role is a must therefore Badley-Morgan is a must.

It's McGregor & Wilson for me. I'm still convinced that if Wilson gets a partner with him then he'll score loads and whilst Reid scored a decent goal last week I'm of the opinion that he's simply not ready for this level.

Get what your saying but watching Wilson of the ball is so frustrating, guy doesn't look interested at all.

See you be fair, I'd look pissed off and disinterested if I was standing in the opposition half on my own for the majority of the game. Wilson's a chance taker, not a creator (imo of course).

Only change I would make tomorrow would back Badley-Morgan coming in for Bruce which seems a bit harsh on Bruce as he did have his best game for us last week but it allows Hancock to play further up.

I liked the look of having Aiken, Gallagher and Frizzell in midfield last week as I felt that it had brought more of a balance to the team.

Agree with @AJ77 I'd start Reid and McGregor up front together.

Although the jury is out on Aaron Reid like a few of our other signings on whether they are Championship quality or not, ultimately he has double the amount of goals as Ben Wilson has in the league and receives double the amount of criticism.

Ben Wilson looked excellent in the League Cup but his contribution in the League for me doesn't merit him getting a start, think he has to earn it.

The other reason I'd start Reid and McGregor up top in a back 3 would be that if we have both Hancock and MacDonald playing as wing backs, that's where I see us being most threatening up front and if we took Reid out of the team, we'd be back to passing the ball around or 18 yard line again which would lead to us gifting goals to the opposition.
